Custom Brake Line Manufacturer?

Can anyone in the bay area make me a set of brake lines? I'm looking for WRX size rear lines with an L shaped hardline at the banjo end. SS is preferable.

Thanks for any info.

so do you need to make a new Hardline? or a new soft line?

edit: I have a brand new set of REAR 02/03 WRX SS brakelines, that I bought, but never used (got lines with my stoptechs). But whats this "hardline" you are talking about?

I need a flexible hose that leads to a hard L shaped connector at the caliper side.

Imagine chopping off the banjo side of WRX rear lines and putting an L shaped hardline with banjo connector in its place.

Porterfield can do that. Send an email with what you need to 'orders@speedtoys.com' mention Jacob sent ya, and be prepared to mail them an example of what you need (IE lines with ends marked) if they need it.

ahhhhh, I see, have you tried using LGT rear stainless lines? instead of having a custom set made? it may be a more cost effective option. Just a thought.

I believe that the LGT lines are much shorter and mate with a hardline in an entirely different location. They wouldn't work.

But they do have the little L shape I'm looking for.

maybe, you could take the LGT lines AND some WRX lines to a brake line manufacturer (as mentioned above) and have them graft the two together.

This is what I did when I converted my '80 Celica to rear discs w/ Supra gear. I sent them two lines with a label on the ends I needed on the lines, got lines back in a week from them. They can make anything you want, even custom brake pads.
